[syslinux] Re: Network Boot IP Configuration Dilemma

[stanley.smith at rlx.com]

Peter,

One last mod.  Just after the .noipappend1 label,
the IPAppend value needs to be reloaded into al.
This needs to be done in case ipappend is set to
3 in the config file and the user wants both the 
'ip=' and 'BOOTIF=' parameters passed to the kernel.
During processing of the 'ip=' parameter, al is 
disturbed.

Thanks for all your help,

Stan Smith
